Vote For Best Looking Warlock Set

From Molten Core to Black Temple, since the early days of WoW to Illidan, there’s one thing warlocks had - great looking item sets. Not many people had the privilege to wear them, but it sure felt nice for those who did. Like an old forum post: we all know looking good is half the battle.

Don’t forget to click the images for larger view. Now, on with the show!

I wish we had these kind of set bonuses today: 5-piece set bonus gave your pet +20 stamina and a whooping amount of 130 spell resistances. Talk about unkillable felhunter. Horns on this one are even more badass!

You and your 39 best mates had to dig through Blackwing Lair and Onyxia’s Lair, and even go back to Molten Core and finish off Ragnaros for the pants.

I have to admit I’ve never been to Naxxramas, and I hope I’ll get to see it before Wrath hits. Supposedly it has one of the best - if not the best designed raid encounters. To be honest, I think it looks a bit clownish, but who cares. It’s T3 baby!

The halls of Karazhan hide many secrets, including 2 pieces of Voidheart Raiment. Magtheridon keeps the chest hidden in a secret closet (probably with a couple of gnome slaves), while Gruul’s Lair is the home of legs and shoulders.

I’m not a fashion whore, but when it comes to T5, in my opinion, it is the best looking set ever. Season 2 items are still sitting in my bank and ain’t going anywhere soon. Unfortunately, every second warlock will be wearing it soon since season 2 items will be purchasable for honor (looks pretty much the same).

Drops from bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep. Rumors say Void Reaver almost shed a tear when he had to drop shoulders. Oh well.

The final set today. Supposedly a couple of bosses in Mount Hyjal don’t want you to get gloves and head. Shoulders and legs can be found in the basement of Black Temple, which ain’t as black as many think. Illidan’s collection of chest pieces is remarkable (stylish guy, eh), and he will be your final obstacle on your way to Sunwell, where the belt, boots and bracers are.

Next set in the line will be druid, soon followed by other classes (unless I get ripped off, wouldn’t be the first time). If you wish to be notified, subscribe to my RSS feed and get future posts in your favorite reader.

I agree, the shoulders on the T5 are of an amazing design, but overall, as a set, I think T3 is the best. The horns/whatever is on the T5 helm things coming off all the head pieces just need to go away. We are cloaked in shadow, we should not stand out.

I am still a fan of the T3, if only because it is so ugly and unusual that it is distinctively ‘warlock’ in feel. My love affair with T5 died when Blizz created the annoying ‘parallel’ arena sets, and EVERYONE had it. Puke. T6 is still a touch too goat-like for me - and I am allowed to not like it, on the basis I will probably never get it! Sour grapes, who me?

I’m with Saresa; Tier 3 has always been my favorite warlock tier set. It’s so uncommon and there’s really no other set that even looks remotely like it. Plus it brings back some fond memories of Naxxramas.

I thought about it, and it seems the items are more visible on human models. Gnomes are just too small for anything, chest pieces don’t look that good on undeads (not to mention the bones sticking out randomly). Orcs are fine though, but blood elves just suck

Any other suggestions then? Feel free.
I guess I’ll use different races/gender next time.

I have this theory they have X hours per armor set to spend making it look awesome and the dude working on tier 5 spent so many hours making the warlock set look so freaking cool that he had to spend minus hours on the Paladin Purple Ballerina set. End result? Tier5 is Emotastic Warlock Awesome.

Kinda makes you want the PvP gear not to use the PvE skins or be bought with honor.

T6 wings are awesome. Everything else is men.
T5 has amazing shoulders. The set says more “necromancer” than “warlock” to me.
T4 is pretty lackluster in general. The shoulders are especially dissapointing.
T3 looks great. But it just doesnt do it for me.
T2 is fabulous. I really dig the color scheme, but I never really like the shoulders.
T1 is what I voted for. Nothing says “I’ve gone too far” than Horns growing out of your head.

I am a pvp/raiding warlock that usually walks around proudly in my Season 3 pvp gear, I have gotten use to my helm that makes me look like a bull. Only leave it on for the Winged effect that everyone talks about, if anything it is a conversation starter. So with that said I would not mind having that malefic set. but still The Tier 5 set says DEATH like no other.

Yea in my opinion i think the t5 is the best looking set in the game other then maybe hunter t3 and mage t3. Cryptstalker is just flat out bawlin. Anywho as a lock who rolls in 4 piece t6 and has most of the previous sets, (not t3) i think that the corruptor takes the cake. I never managed to get the robes because i had better at the time, however now i wanna go back and get them to complete the set. Only problem is kael is like the freaking hardest fight pre sunwell lol.

To be honest, it’s all depend on what race you put those armor set on, in my perspective, I see that T6 on a male bloodelf is the most queer idea ever and a female human on a T2 is absolute beautiful. It seems to me that the design of T5 is the most well design as it suits all races from the “Gay-elves” to the “Gen-omes” and I am glad that bliz is allowing us to buy S2 which is the same looking as T5 with honor, I am definitely getting my S2 before Wrath of the Lich King.
I just wish/hope blizzard continue make better and better armor sets.

how can you say that, “chest pieces don’t look that good on undeads (not to mention the bones sticking out randomly)” undead is the best looking warlock ingame imo have you seen the Lock T8 on Undeads? omfg its like a orgasm, seriously

as a t7 warlock *gaaaaawd sexy* Ive made it my mission to go back in time and pick up my old t-sets because, again, *gaaaaaawd sexy*
T1: I fished through MC to get everything but the helm, but ive got the mag-har quest versions so no one can tlel the difference >v<. Honestly, I love it, and methinks its in the top 3 of lock sets 1-6

t2: great color scheme, great helm, awefull place to run through to get it. No one wants to do BWL :’<

t5: death incarnate. Again, the helm is a little weird *but still cool* but the shoulders have to be among the best in game. I feel bad for you classes with boring sets

T6: t6 freaks me out honestly. the robes are cool, and the wings are impressive, but it looks kinda…bad on a blood elf. And come on, illidin? archimonde? freaking t6 content
